Well, I wouldn't say it's done since it's been around since 1750...but I think I see what you mean; the whole poker on tv thing and the fascination with it has probably passed. Though I still wouldn't say no to a good game.

agree 100%. Hold'em is now engrained in American culture. But the fanaticism is over.

I hold a game once a month, and go to a friends once a month to play. I want to play more, just cant. But I do believe the craze is over. When Chris Moneymaker won a $40 online tourney that ended up getting him a seat at the WSOP in 2003, he became an inspiration to anybody who thought they could play, like me. Dude turned that $40 in to 2.5 million. Now, the field was only 700 that year, but still...If you play it is still plenty big.

So why do you say its dead, HP? You tryin to play?

I just realized I don't care that much who wins what anymore and i am not dying to play. i was huge into it and made some money at one point. 5k in a month anyway at pretty low levels. I read all the books...I think anyone who is technical and patient can do that. But I just don't have the patience to play long term.

Love the occasional home game, but even that is tough. One guy doesn't have money, one guy can't remember the rules etc...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
